THE SUN ENTERTAINMENT SECTION

GOD SAVE THE KING ! Good Morning, Auckland ! Well, the bath was a bit nippy this morning, wasn't it ? Ah! but not so nippy as I will have to be for the next THREE DAYS. For why? Well, 111 tell you. I have been feeling a bit blue because I need more money for the MEN’S NIGHT SHELTER, and couldn’t think how to get it. I thought of sleeping another night in the Domain (or the Uncivil Square), but that’s called in. I was going to Jump into the Harbour, but it's too cold. I was desperate. My pulse was 125, temperature 126, and then—it just happened—l met a JOLLY BRITISH BLUEJACKET, who said, '’Hi. Jasper, the Bandmaster of the DIOMEDE is looking for you” (I started like a fox terrier pup who had just lost his tail). “Yes, the boys of the ship think that you are the finest, the most brilliant and the most—” (say. I simply can't tell you the details; I'm too modest), “and they want to help your MAGNIFICENT work, by putting on a GRAND ENTERTAINMENT to help your MEN'S NIGHT SHELTER.” I was so excited that my brain (especially mentioned by Sir Canon Doyle and Sir Hugh MacKenzie) worked like 1000 Burroughs Adding Machines (agent please Slipusaquid). I phoned the Town Hall, I phoned the printer, and in 12 minutes I had arranged for a Grand Entertainment By the Famous Band and Concert Party of the H.M.S. DIOMEDE H.M.S. DIOMEDE (By Kind Permission of Captain L. V. Wells, D. 5.0., R.N.) And all done because of the inborn big-heartedness of the British sailor. Now you haven’t time to think it over, because the show takes place in 3 DAYS’ TIME, so Just make up your mind to go, because it’s on NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT (MAY 21), BIG TOWN HALL WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES EIGHT. (Or even if it doesn’t !) Now Just Note a Few Facts. <i) No Reserves, no booking, no worrying organisations. <ii) The Diomedians produce, you and I look on. (iii) At GISBORNE, NAPIER, INVERCARGILL, and all other cities where this programme has been given. PACKED HOUSES have resulted. <iv) The Diomede Band is the pride of the Pacific Fleet. (V.) If the EMDEN heard them play “I’m After You, Fritz,” she’d go for her life. (vi) The price of admission (TO YOU) Is 2s for Dress Circle and Front Stalls. ONE 808 for the HANGOVER GALLERY and BACK STALLS, DOORS OPEN 7 o’clock. Overture at 8. (vii) Bandmaster Kirkby is Justly proud of his Concert Party, who have raised hundreds of pounds for charity. (viii) HE knows what organisation is the most deserving in N.Z. HE knows which man stands supreme as the GREATEST SOCIAL WORKER, the MOST ENTERPRISING FAR-SEEING, STATESMANLIKE ADMINISTRATOR —though I don’t care to mention who he is, I may say that the above ENTERTAINMENT is given on behalf of his NIGHT SHELTER FOR HOMELESS MEN. Well, I must away. Seeyoulater. Cheerio, J
